• The Biochemistry and Molecular Biology graduate program provides advanced, research-based education that will prepare students for a career in academic, industrial, or professional positions in British Columbia and beyond. 
  • The Program offers MSc and PhD degrees, with the option to transfer from the MSc into the PhD track during the second year.
  • The bulk of the program is research-intensive and assessed by examination of a dissertation, although students starting in the MSc program are required to take six formal course credits, which are usually completed within the first two academic terms. 
  • Course topics include protein structure and function, gene regulation, epigenetics, membrane structure and function, cellular regulation, and bioinformatics.
